favorite albums of 2018

Here we go: favorite albums of the year. I like to make my lists every year and let me be very clear that these? Are just my favorites. Are they the best albums of the year? Who the fuck knows. Maybe some are, some aren’t. How do you even decide that? Useless rubric. I picked out a couple favorite songs from each album and posted youtube links, or, you can listen to them all on one youtube playlist HERE.
